The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1887-02-17

The great cry of those fellows who
are bowling for the Legislature to
leave the Dow Law alone seems to be
based upon the declaration that they
want the people to get acquainted
with" the Law, and understand its
workings. Please toInote the sublime
cheek in that declaration. "We," the
great politicians of Ohio, representing
the doggery interest of Cincinnati,
have evolved from our wonderful
brains wonderful law, so complicated
that the readers thereof cannot un-
derstand what it is, and what it is for.
Therefore we coolly say to the the in
telligent people eff Ohio, ''you don't
know anything-you cannot under
stand the English language. Just
wait while until you can understand
what our magnificent brains grasped
in a moment" Now, the facts are
just there: The people do not COM
plain of the Dow Law-as far as it
goes. But it seems to bear upon the
face a miserable trick. As far as the
taxing is concerned, no one will per-
haps object to that. But it has other
features quite distasteful to a good
many people, and the political bood-
lers should not permit themselves to
be deceived into the belief that the
De ople do not understand it. Every
man who read it doubtless understood
it at a glance. IF it is good thing,
certainly no public-spirited citizen
could object to improving it.

The newspaper men Of Cincinnati
are very strongly opposed to anything
which savors of "Puritanical" ideas.
They do not seem to believe in the
old-fashioned nonsense about keeping
the Sabbath and similar unreasonable
things. Merely to show the kind of
society which prevails largely under
the teachings Of these journalistic

1.-The noble rage to amend the Dow Law comes eth
from boodler lunar politics. 1t should be sooth
ed without preiudice.''-CommerciaL Gazette.
Opposition TO the amendment of the Dow Law
comes from such papers as the Cincinnati CONNER
uial Gazette, the brewers, disliers saoon-keepers,
and the shines and slums of the great cites."-Fay-
rite County Herald
The Herald is right. The CONNER
cial Gazette is evidently the mouth
piece of the Devils business in Gin
cinnati, and if the interest of the Gin
cinnati doggeries required that the
Republican party should be defeated,
that paper would doubtless join the
Democracy, and howl as uproariously
for the Democratic ticket as it did in
1872. 1t takes crank to talk Of ''lu-
mar politics" The fact is, very few
people object to the Dow Law, as far
as it goes, and generally, the people
are willing for the law to stand-but
they want more in the same direction.
If it is good law, and on the right
line, why in the name of reason,
should anybody, fri, nd to the law,
object to improving it? If it is not
in the right direction, what is the
sense Of holding it up before the peo-
pie as wise measure. There is no
great demand for general -upheaval
with regard to the law, but plain,
sensible improving Of the law would
meet the approval of the public. The
assumption that the Republican party
of Ohio is but tool in the hands of
the Devil, to be used for the pecunia-
ry profit of Cincinnati, is a most
cheeky and ridiculous one.

"In the eleventh and final round Collins staggered

One of the most upright and infu-
ential farmers in Jackson county was
in our Office last week, and in CONVEX
sation upon the subject Of politics, ex-
pressed the conviction that there would
have to be careful work on the part Of
those calling themselves political lead
ers, hereafter, or the Republican par
ty would be in danger of great loss.
This is not an isolated case Scores
Of men talk the same way. There is
no great howl about "bossism," or
anything Of that kind, there is simply
a quiet determination to lift politics
to higher plane than that upon
which some politicians would be
pleased to place it. The matter of
fixing up party nominations far in
advance of county conventions will be
thoroughly sifted before many cam
paigns shall have passed, and unless
we do careful work as Republicans,
we will awaken to the fact pretty soon
that we have made some wonderfully
stupid mistakes. Time used to be
when there was machine" in poll
tics. Time now is when every voter
has a machine Of his own, and will in
sist upon controlling its movements
himself. 1t will therefore require
some intelligent management for us
to have an old-time majority hereafter.
The way to succeed is not by reading
one another out Of the party, not by
internal strife and nonsense, but by
strong, careful, harmonious pull for
victory. Already there are many
threats Of paying off political debts.
We trust that all this may be wiped
out, and that the old party may do
some Of its good, old-fashioned work.
We must have common sense rather
than brass this year.

THE STANDARD.
JOHN Fl MACKGBY-
KDrToR.

The last issue of the Louisville
Courier-Jo Journal, weekly edition, con-
tained lengthy sketch of the life,
military services, and hanging of "Sue
Mundy" (Jerome Clark. He was was
q young boy when the war broke out,
and an orphan. After being captured
as Rebel soldier at Fort Donelson,
he chose the life of guerilla muir
derer, as being better suited to his
tastes than the strict discipline of a
soldier of the line His friends claimed
that this course was caused by the
murder of a relative by Union man
in Kentucky, Jerome's native State.
Clark was beautiful boy, with dark
eyes, long curly hair, and feminine
appearance. This greatly aided him
in the character of spy, and the
name "Sue Mundy" was taken from a
notorious courtesan of that name liv-
ing near Clark's home early in the
war. He was an ally of Quantrell
and other notorious Rebel murderers,
and it is claimed would not take a
Union man prisoner only long enough
to kill him. HIS crimes and exploits
were such that his name was a terror
in parts of Kentueky. He was cap
tured near Brandenhurg, early in 1865,
and hung at louisville. His feminine
appearance Won much sympathy for
him, but more desperately wicked
heart perhaps never occupied human
breast.
We never saw "Sue Mundy," that
we know of, but we were in Louisville
. short time after his execution, and
saw two similar characters executed,
we believe on the same scafold, or
near the same spot. There were two
guerilla murderers, whose names-as
we now remember them-were Jona-
than Hedges and Enoch Downs. The
description of the execution of Clark
corresponds exactly with that Of the
two later ones-Hedges and Downs.
We remember distinctly the scene.
We were passing along the street
when we observed some troops drawn
up in front of prison. Shortly two
prisoners, heavily ironed, were brought
out and placed in hack, in company
with minister. A battalion of troops
formed hollow square about the car
riage, and the procession moved sew
eral squares, to the place of execution.
This was In an open lot, or common,
and thousands of people witnessed the
execution. We remember that we
never saw-except in the ease of
Champ Ferguson-a more villainous
looking countenance than was pos
sessed by each of these fellows. Their
appearance was more that Of cornered
and frightened brutes than men. One
of them, brought face to face with
his awful sins, and the certainty of
speedy death, was so overcome that an
officer had to support him while the
rope was being adjusted. They had
not hesitated to take advantage of the
excitement Of war toraid unprotected
neighborhoods, and murder and pill
lage, and there seemed a peculiar air
of justice about the scaffold upon
which the sullen and murderous
brutes were jerked into the presence
Of an insulted God. Had the good
work done at Louisville been more
general, it would have had good ef-
feet, as we'll as being full of justice.
The brutes Of the stamp Of Quantrell,
Sue Mundy, and others who followed
like murderous pursuits, could not
have been wiped out too rapidly.

THE TORIES BALKED.

1t is extremely gratifying to note the
spirit in which the Tories are being
met, now that they heye entered upon
their work in full swing. From the re-
ports of the numerous branches OF she
National League throughout. the thlr-
ty-two counties of Ireland, it is seen
that the government proclamation has
no terrors for them. Without one sin
gle exception, every branch has adopted
defiant resolutions. They say that to
he proclaimed is one thing; to be actu-
ally suppressed is another thing, and
they win not be put down. 1t they can
no longer meet as formerly, they will
meet nevertheless. eonstabulary will
not balk them, and, what is best OF all,
they do not fear the treachery Of any
one. To proclaim them is to test their
real power as it never has been tested,
and they do not finch from the test.
Several branches, indeed, have lntl-
mated, by their resolutions, that they
welcome the tug Of war. The trial OF
Wna. O Brien, which is set for to-day

Parneli is acting in concert with Mr..
Gladstone in regard to Irish affairs, and
it was evidently at the suggestion OF
Mr.. Parnell that such q line of policy
was adopted. Mr.. Gladstone knows
well what he is doing when he requests
that the people should keep their tenn
per little while longer. 1t is certainly
humiliating that they should have to
submit to the arrogance of the Tory
party and the British military, but the
end to be gained is of such vital i'm
portance that submission at the present
time is only secondary consideration.
